Andrés Guardado has the nickname «El chico maravilla» which means Wonder Kid, and the young player is considered as one of the upcoming stars of Mexico and international football. 23 year old Guardado is currently playing in Spain and Deportivo La Coruña, using his tremendous speed to cover the entire left wing - from the top of the offence all the way to the team’s defensive line. Andrés Guardado has already participated in the previous World Cup tournament with Mexico, and he was selected as one of the contenders for the Best Young Player award.
“I think we have a good chance of doing something great coming to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. Mexico has a strong team, a combination of many young talented players and 4 or 5 older, more experienced footballers that will help us a lot. We are going through a fantastic preparation period, the team is hungry, and in my opinion we have everything needed to advance to the second round. I think we are playing in the hardest group of the entire World Cup. Nobody wants to go against the host nation in a World Cup competition for many reasons, and we have to go against South Africa on the opening game nevertheless. France is not the great team it used to be, but it is also like Mexico a team that combines young and experienced players. Uruguay is going to the 2010 World Cup with many ambitions, and even though this team has nothing to do with the Uruguay that won the World Cup trophy twice they can still create many problems to any opponent.”
Andrés Guardado also talked about his favourite teams in the 2010 World Cup: “The two teams that everybody considers as favourites to win (Spain and Brazil) are definitely playing the best football in the world right now. Of course you can never leave out historic nations like Italy, Germany, Argentina or even England. I think it will be a very interesting World Cup tournament, I hope the fans will remember it for many years to come. But to conclude, yes my favourites are Spain and Brazil.”
